Perhaps the previous blog wasn’t uplifting enough and left you feeling inadequate- well, try this:
God does know from what he has formed us (i.e. Dust: Gen 2: 7, ‘And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.’) and therefore is the last to be surprised at our failings and inadequacies BUT he also knows what we are becoming (in and through him)!!
1 Cor 15 v 47-49, ‘The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.’
WE SHALL ALSO BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE HEAVENLY MAN: i.e. Jesus Christ- the Saviour, the healer, the authour and perfecter of our faith (the author and perfecter of everything we struggle with)!!
God never was and never will be content to leave us as we are- he sees potential in dust! He breathes the breath of life into our nostrils! We become alive and look forward to a time when we will be truly made like him- no longer just dust…spiritually reconnected, made alive, breathing the breath of God!
Hallelujah!!
Breathe life into this dust again…
Peace
Mark
